Chu Huan understood: "This Jinling Bird girl is kind-hearted. ”

"Everyone is grateful to her, and in the past few years with her, everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and it is also given by the girl." Ding Miao said softly.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Deputy Team Leader Zhou was originally the same as you, a martial artist of the Wu family's class?" ”

"Exactly." Ding Miao said: "The martial artist of the Wu family class, there are still five or six people left, and if Mao leads the team, it is the person next to the girl." Ding Miao explained: "The girl brought some people with her from the capital to Jinling, and Leader Mao was one of them. ”

Only then did Chu Huan understand that if he really wanted to talk about it, that Team Leader Mao was the descendant of Jinling Bird, and Deputy Team Leader Zhou was a latecomer in this Peacock Terrace.

"The two girls around Jinlingque were also brought from the capital?" Chu Huan asked in a low voice.

Ding Miao lowered her voice and said, "One of them has been following the girl, but the other one only came here a year ago...... The later maidservant was called Xiao Lian, and she was later taken in by the girl. ”

"Take in?"

Ding Miao said: "Yes, but what is going on, we don't know very well, once the girl went out, and when she came back, she brought her back, no one has seen her, the girl is very good to her, named Xiao Lian, and has always been with her......!" He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Pian is really pitiful, until now everyone doesn't know her origin, but I'm afraid the girl doesn't know." ”

Chu Huanqi said: "Why is this? Since they have followed Jinling Bird for more than a year, how can Jinling Bird not know the origin of Xiao Pian? ”

Ding Miao said: "I'm just guessing, because Xiao Pian ...... Hey, he's a mute, can't speak, and as far as I know, can't read, so even if the girl asks, Xiao Pian can't say it. There is no way, if Xiao Lian hadn't met the girl, I'm afraid that she would have died a long time ago, and now she can follow the girl, which can be regarded as a ...... of creation! ”

"Dumb?" Chu Huan was a little surprised, but at this time, he saw Zhou Xiong coming over with a small jar of wine and a small bamboo basket, and said: "Bamboo hero, after a day's journey, I didn't eat well, come, there is wine and food, although it is not a good thing, but it can always fill your stomach." He spoke very politely, and he seemed to be very in awe of Chu Huan, and without waiting for Chu Huan to say more, he entered Chu Huan's tent, put down the wine jar, and personally took out the food in the basket.

A bowl of roast meat, a bowl of tofu, and a bowl of green vegetables, in this wilderness, steaming, it is really rare, Ding Miao has already gotten up to say goodbye, Chu Huan entered the tent, and said with a smile: "Deputy Team Leader Zhou is really polite." ”

Zhou Xiong said with a smile: "Bamboo hero, don't say this again, you are our benefactor, and this is the only thing you can do for you." ”

"There is labor." After Chu Huan sat down, Zhou Xiong didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Chu Huan naturally smiled and said, "Deputy Team Leader Zhou didn't eat either, right?" Why don't you have two drinks together? ”

"Zhu Daxia, don't mention it again this week, if you really look down on it, call Brother Zhou, and you will be grateful." Zhou Xiong said solemnly.

Chu Huan let out an "oh", just smiled, but didn't speak.

"Bamboo hero, can you believe that it is like a friend at first sight?"

"Hit it off at first sight?" Chu Huan smiled: "Zhou ...... Why did Brother Zhou ask this? Could it be that we hit it off at first sight? ”

Zhou Xiong clapped his hands and smiled: "Does Bamboo Daxia also feel like this?" To tell you the truth, when Zhou saw Zhu Daxia, he had a sense of familiarity at first sight, and he seemed to have known each other for a long time. ”

Chu Huan had already opened the wine jar, took a sip, and said with a smile: "All brothers in the four seas, they are all people who walk the rivers and lakes, and they are all familiar at first sight, but it is normal." ”

"Bamboo hero, we just met, you may not know much about me." Zhou Xiong said: "Zhou likes to make friends, walks the rivers and lakes, and only recognizes the word 'righteousness'. ”

Chu Huan smiled: "In this way, Zhou Xiong is a righteous person. ”

Zhou Xiong sighed: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time...... Zhu Daxia has just walked with us, and I am afraid that I don't know much about many things......! Listening attentively, it seemed that he wanted to hear what movement was outside the tent, Chu Huan saw this, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Why is Brother Zhou like this?" ”

"Bamboo Hero, I won't tell you, in the Peacock Terrace, sometimes you have to be careful when you speak." Zhou Xiong smiled bitterly: "The wall has ears, and the bamboo hero naturally understands." ”

"The wall has ears?" Chu Huanqi said: "Brother Zhou, where did you start with this? Could it be that you and I are talking here, and someone will overhear? ”

Zhou Xiong wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his voice and said: "There are some words that are inconvenient to say to Zhu Daxia, but ...... Bamboo chivalrous and thin, if I deceive, it will seem to be narrow, and ...... Hey, and since the bamboo hero is following us on the same road, I have some words, and I also have to remind the hero. ”

Chu Huan put down the wine jar and said, "Brother Zhou, it's okay to say it. ”

"Bamboo Hero, you...... What do you think of Team Leader Mao? Zhou Xiong pondered for a moment and finally asked.

Chu Huan said: "You also know, I only met Team Leader Mao this morning, and I didn't even say a word, so I really don't know much about this person...... However, since he is the leader of the Peacock Terrace, he naturally has won the trust and respect of Jinling Bird, and I see that the Mao team leader commanded everyone to set up camp, which was well organized, and he seemed to be quite talented, and everyone in the Peacock Terrace seemed to be very respectful of this Mao leader. ”

"It's no wonder that Bamboo Hero looks this way." Zhou Xiong smiled bitterly: "Mao Renju looks dignified and taciturn, which makes people think that he is very calm, even the girl and Mr. Wu, and they both trust him a lot ......!" ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Brother Zhou's words seem to mean that Team Leader Mao is not as calm as he seems. ”

Zhou Xiong thought for a while, and then said: "Zhu Daxia, you don't know, since we left Weiling Mansion City, I have always felt that something is wrong, we went all the way north, but behind us, is there someone riding a horse to follow, they are not close, sneaky, appear for a while, and disappear for a while......!" ”

Chu Huan said: "You mean that Peacock Terrace has been targeted?" ”

"That's true." Zhou Xiong said: "That's fine, if it's just being targeted, we also have a lot of people, and they are all martial artists, ordinary little thieves, and they don't dare to approach." ”

"It's just that what does this have to do with Team Leader Mao?" Chu Huan wondered.

Zhou Xiong lowered his voice and said, "I also hope that it has nothing to do with it, but ......!" After a pause, he leaned closer slightly, and said in a low voice: "The hero doesn't know, as far as I know, Mao Renju likes to associate with some indiscreet people in private, and many of them are robbers who rob houses. Especially recently, he has been in contact with the bandits in private, and he deliberately did not let people know that he had dealings with the bandits just before we left......! ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "How did Brother Zhou know this?" ”

Zhou Xiong hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "It's hard to say, but since Zhu Daxia asked, I won't hide it." My Zhou Xiong's qualifications are no worse than those of the hairy horse, but because he is the person brought by the girl, he rode on our heads, and he usually doesn't have a good face for us, and everyone is actually holding their breath in their hearts, and I don't have a good impression of him. But everyone is a person from Peacock Terrace at the same time, and I let him everywhere, but he is also safe and sound......! ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "That's also good." ”

"But not long ago, we found out a secret about him." Zhou Xiong sneered: "Mao Renju used to be very good at gambling, we didn't know before, but not long ago, I found that people from the gambling house looked for him from time to time, so I secretly observed, only to find that Mao Renju owed a lot of money in the gambling house...... That's a lot ......! ”

Chu Huan touched his chin and asked, "So what?" It is not possible to judge from this that there is a problem with the Mao team. ”

"Bamboo Daxia is right." Zhou Xiong said: "But the strange thing is that just a few days before we left, we found out that all the gambling debts owed by Mao Renju were paid off, and they took out cash, not winning money in the casino to pay off the debts...... That's hundreds of taels of silver, and we all know Mao Renju's monthly money, and it is impossible for him to repay his debts. ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Do you suspect that the source of those silver is unknown?" ”

"Does Bamboo Daxia think that the hairy man can conjure tricks and conjure silver?" Zhou Xiong sneered: "It also happened to be during that time, the hairy foal and the bandits were very close and often had contacts, so ......!" And didn't go on.

Chu Huan seemed to understand, "So Brother Zhou thinks that the people who are following behind are likely to be bandits, and they have something to do with Team Leader Mao?" ”

Zhou Xiong lowered his voice and said: "Zhu Daxia doesn't know, over the years, the girl has earned a lot of money, in the girl's carriage, but it is full of rare treasures, there are several large boxes, just now you can see, those boxes have been moved into the girl's tent, it can be seen that the girl attaches great importance to those money." Mao Renju naturally knows this very well, he was exhausted not long ago, and he may not have the idea of beating the girl......! ”

Chu Huan said softly: "Brother Zhou's words, I already understand. What do you mean is that Team Leader Mao is in debt because of gambling and is unable to repay, so he secretly colluded with the bandits and wanted to fight Jinlingque's idea, and the money he used to repay the gambling debts was all ...... from the robbers in advance! ”

"Bamboo Daxia is really wise." Zhou Xiong gave a thumbs up, "This is my conjecture, and it is the most likely." ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "If that's the case, then the situation will be troublesome." Yes, can Brother Zhou inform Chief Wu or Jinlingque about this? ”

Zhou Xiong said in a low voice: "There is no direct evidence, and Mao Renju is a person brought by the girl from the capital, even if she tells the girl, she will not believe it, but will think that I, Zhou Xiong, ...... sow discord!" He shook his head with a wry smile.

Chu Huan said: "Then Manager Wu doesn't know? ”

"I didn't say it directly, but I also revealed this meaning to Mr. Wu." Zhou Xiong said in a low voice: "Manager Wu is a smart person, he should understand what I mean, but he doesn't believe what I say." Mao Renju is not very good to others, but he is very respectful to Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu has always been grateful to the girl, and has been conscientiously taking care of the affairs of the Peacock Terrace for the girl, not letting the girl worry about trivial matters, he has always hoped that the Peacock Terrace will be harmonious and harmonious, and there will be no internal disputes, so ......! sighed: "In the end, I can't come up with real evidence, but if Mao Renju really wants to do such a thing, how can I grasp the handle?" ”

Chu Huan stared at Zhou Xiong and asked, "Brother Zhou told me this secret, I don't know what you want me to do?" ”
